What do you do when your entire identity has been built around a “they” that’s oppressing you, but “they” don’t actually seem to be oppressing you?

You’ve taken on “victim” as your identity, but you’re not being victimized enough. So you’re forced to live vicariously through “Hitler the victim.”

Ah, Darryl Cooper again. My least favorite person of 2024. Professional falsifier of history who misrepresented my work to get on Tucker Carlson’s podcast and introduce a hundred million people to bad Holocaust historiography.

I did my best to fight back in September, and I failed. Of course I did. Cooper gets platformed by Tucker Carlson and now Joe Rogan. Me? I have Ann Coulter on my side, and for that I’m grateful (she highlighted my refutation of Cooper on a podcast last year). But few have her integrity; not in an era in which Holocaust/Hitler revisionism is the leprechaun that leads influencers to social media gold.

Cooper never responded to my refutation of his work, because of course not.

On the J. Burden podcast several months ago, Cooper said:

If you were over here in any school in America, elementary, middle, high school, whatever, and you’re talking about World War II and you raise your hand and say, “Teacher, I was looking on the internet and this stuff that they’re saying about these concentration camps, these death camps and stuff, yeah, I don’t think so. I’m not so sure about that. Like, you know, I was reading this guy named David Cole or such and such and, yeah, I just don’t think any of that happened and you know, it wasn’t like that.” You’re not just gonna get corrected. You’re gonna get in trouble for saying that. Like, you’re gonna be disciplined for that.

No. 1, I’ve never said the Holocaust “never happened,” but No. 2, no child in any school has, to my knowledge, ever been disciplined for citing me. Cooper straight-up invented that claim.

But wait, maybe Cooper knows better than I. So I messaged him, and I asked him, “Can you provide me a few examples to back up that claim?”

He refused to reply.

Cooper lies. About world history, and my history.

Still, the question is, why does he lie?

Well, because he knows it’ll get him on Tucker and Rogan.

But again, why? Why do Cooper’s lies resonate with MAGA to the extent that he’s such a profitable guest?

Cooper’s thesis, that Hitler was a well-meaning white man who wanted to feed starving Jews but the villainous Churchill made it impossible so Jews sadly died in Nazi care but not by Nazi malice, resonates with you. Hitler’s become a proxy for you, the benevolent white man wronged by warmongers in his time and “court historians” and the LAMESTREAM MEDIA after his death.

Hence why Cooper invented that story about how mentioning my work will get students disciplined in school. He knows how important it is for you to see not only yourselves as victims, but your children, too. “They” aren’t coming just for you, but for your kids as well.

This is you being victim by proxy. You’re so not victimized, you need to live via the imaginary victimization of others (funny enough, by appropriating my fictional victimization and exploiting it in the name of Hitler rehabilitation, you’re the ones actually victimizing me. That’s some heavy meta right there).

You guys want to feel besieged, even though things are actually quite good for you right now. You got to riot in D.C., beat cops, storm the Capitol, and you got pardoned. Steve Bannon embezzled from you, and you did the whole battered woman “I know he beats me but I LOVE him!” routine so Bannon got pardoned, too. If you deny the Holocaust, the moon landing, or round earth, Big Tech boosts you, as the government of New Zealand apologizes to Candace Owens for denying her a visa because maybe she’s right about Jews eating Christian babies. Hey—she’s just ASKING QWESTCHINS…oh, wait, no, she’s not. She’s stating as a fact that Jews exsanguinate Christians for Passover rituals and the Kiwis are like, “Cool, that’s a legitimate claim to debate,” and Hollywood could easily throw its weight around to protest the Owens visa decision, as New Zealand makes billions from “runaway production,” but that ain’t happening because “the Hollywood Jews” care way more about cheap production than suppressing the insane views of a mentally retarded schizophrenic ghetto whore.

See, that’s your problem. You’re just not being oppressed enough at the moment. You’re no longer oppressed by Big Tech, or by “Hollywood Jews,” or by the “vote stealers” who robbed you of a victory in 2020 but oddly missed doing the same last November (did they sleep in that day? Don’t you hate it when that happens? You’re gonna steal an election but you forget to set your alarm). You’re not being rounded up to fight in a Middle East war or in Ukraine. Your guns were not grabbed, bird flu didn’t lead to new lockdowns, and Trump dodged a bullet because the reason “they” slept in on November 5th is because they’d become so sleep-deprived they couldn’t even shoot straight during their assassination attempt.

Things are going great for MAGA and lousy for the other guys, and they can’t fucking stand it!

And that’s why Cooper’s popular, why you love him. He’s your BLM. He tells you you’re oppressed when you’re not. He tells you you’re under siege when you’re not.

The BLM-MAGA analogy was made crystal-clear a few months ago when The Blaze dropped a BOMBSHELL that the DEEP STATE fired mind-scrambling rays into the J6 crowd to turn a peaceful protest violent.

Everyone who assaulted cops was under the spell of the SCRAMBLE RAY!

Odd how J6 apologia went from “no cops were assaulted” to “yes, cops were assaulted, but by FBI plants” to “okay, we assaulted cops, but our minds were in the thrall of an invisible death ray!”

More important, The Blaze asserts that the Scramble Ray was first tested out on the BLM rioters during Floyd Summer. Yes, those poor innocent blacks would’ve never been violent! The MURDER RAY is what made their peaceful protests fiery. And you people lap it up because if there’s one thing perpetual victims love doing, it’s commiserating with other perpetual victims. So that, along with MAGA sentimentality regarding blacks (“we’re winning the black vote! That gives us legitimacy!”), is why The Blaze concocted the riot ray story.

Oh sure, MAGA makes a big performative deal about “race realism” and Steve Sailer and bell curves and such, but as the viral response to that Blaze piece has demonstrated, if the matter is put to you in a way that affirms your victim mentality, you’ll kick Sailer to the curb in favor of “blacks aren’t more inherently violent than any other group. It’s the Deep State shooting riot rays at us! Black violence merely shows how effective those rays are, which proves that our violence on J6 wasn’t our fault; we were the victims of mind control just like our black brothers.”

Cut to a black guy saying, “Sheeeeiiiit, even Farrakhan ain’t never said nothin’ that crazy. But hell, if it means Trump releases more of us from prison, yassuh, we’ze been death-rayed too!”

My God do I hate it here. Do I hate this stupid time, this stupid place. Rightists are saying that “riot rays” caused BLM violence, when not one black BLM apologist has ever gone that far. MAGA is making excuses for black street violence that are too bizarre even for blacks themselves.

Pre-MAGA conservatism was heavily flawed. But those neocons were correct when they’d claim that blacks hurt themselves and their community by screaming “oppression,” by exaggerating wrongs done in the present (“poe-leece dun kill a thousand of us a day”), by finding identity in wrongs of the past (“slavery is why I don’t pay child support”), and by excusing the thieves in their own community (“BLM steals our money, but better stolen by them than whitey”).

Post-MAGA conservatism has adopted that model. Wronged in the present (“the FBI dun SET US UP and made us violent with INVISIBLE RAYS!”), wronged in the past (“Hitler was just fighting for white rights and he only tried to feed the Jews!”), and defending thieves who “look like them” (“Bannon dun stoled from us, but he family! He us!”).

MAGA’s decided to emulate the most unhealthy demographic in the country.

Bravo. You’re employing the black formula but expecting a different outcome.

Brilliant.

What’s frightening about Darryl Cooper is not that he’s a Holocaust denier (and to be clear, he’s more a Holocaust dumbass than denier—a guy who not so much denies but distorts), but a Hitler rehabilitator. His message—“Hitler wasn’t perfect but gosh darn it he did his best and ‘they’ destroyed him because he had the guts to go against ‘they’ regarding the security of the white West”—is just what you need to hear right now…to get you to identify with Hitler.

It’s poison. And you’re primed to drink it.

I’ll go even further. This poisoning of the white mind, this identification with Hitler as a tragic victim, this desire to excuse violence by claiming things that not even the most extreme BLM would ever claim (like “riot rays”), scares me more than immigration. No African bunga, no Indian budbud, no Mexi bean, frightens me like a white person who’s given his mind over to schizophrenia or Nazism.

The No. 1 problem with the victim mentality is that it blinds people from asking, “Are we the baddies?” No BLM, just like no J6er, has ever asked that question.

Victims can’t be baddies. They can be tragic heroes, but not baddies.

But they are indeed often the baddies.

Next week I’ll go into the specifics of Cooper’s Rogan interview. So get your vapes ready, Roge-heads, because you’ll zone out after the first paragraph, duuuuude.
